1 Landmark Heritage Trust A land trust for the towns of Carmel Dixmont Etna Hampden Hermon Monroe Newburgh Winterport Volume 6, Issue 1 JANUARY 2012 FROM THE PRESIDENT S CORNER Tony DeFeo President Allan Tubbs Vice-President Carol Cuddy Treasurer Joan Cheetham Secretary Rebecca Childs Programs Ruth DeFeo Galen Hamilton Joyce Hedlund Wes Hedlund Sandra Johnson Amos Kimball Chris Packard Webmaster Donald Phillips Newsletter Editor Ever since the beginning of Newburgh Heritage Trust (our original name) Maine Coast Heritage Trust has encouraged us to think regionally. Their premise was that not enough happens in any one small city or town to support the activities of a non-profit conservation land trust. With the receipt of our most recent conservation easement (four easements now in four different towns) we can see just how right they were. It also shows how right we were to expand our thinking and listen to them. This latest easement covers about half (according to the Baseline Data Documentation prepared by the MCHT) of an approximately 9.56 acre property along Cove Brook and a tributary, Baker Brook, in Winterport. Cove Brook is one of the eight salmon rivers in Maine (for more information on Atlantic salmon and their habitat, refer to pages 2 and 5 of this issue). Both brooks function as important spawning grounds for sea run trout. This easement covers land where these two important streams come together. The easement is not exceptionally large by itself but its value lies in the protection of the edges of these important waters. Its value will be further advanced if future easements can be added to it along these stream corridors. We continue to make slow but steady progress in our work and I cannot thank our supporters enough for all they do to keep us on track and moving forward. IN THIS ISSUE PRESIDENT S LETTER Page 1 INTRODUCING: COVE BROOK Page 2 HIKING IMPROVEMENTS AT NPNA Page 3 CALENDER OF EVENTS Page : BIRD YEAR AT NPNA Page 4 MORE ABOUT ATLANTIC SALMON Page 5 MEMBERSHIP Back Page Landmark Heritage Trust is a nonprofit corporation available to work in Carmel, Etna, Dixmont, Hampden, Hermon, Monroe, Newburgh, and Winterport to protect open space and the area s agricultural, scenic, historical, and recreational resources. We encourage conservation of natural resources by fostering environmental awareness through education and preservation of open space through conservation easements, donations of land and other resources. Landmark Heritage Trust is open to everyone. We are always looking for new members, especially people interested in helping by volunteering their time and expertise. All are welcome to attend our meetings to learn more about this local land trust.
2 January 2012 LANDMARK HERITAGE TRUST NEWSLETTER page 2 of 6 INTRODUCING: COVE BROOK Baker Road, Winterport by Don Phillips No, it isn t the largest property in the LHT s increasing stable of holdings. However, our newest 4.4 ± acre (based on our best estimate) holding does have a distinction that more than makes up for its small size. How so? Language found in the stated Purpose, as described in the Conservation Easement, explains it all: to protect and preserve in perpetuity the ecological and habitat values of Cove Brook, including spawning habitat for Atlantic Salmon... Spawning habitat for Atlantic salmon is a big deal here in Maine, and we feel humbled to do what we can to protect remnant wild populations of Salmo salar, a federally- and state-listed endangered species. Now extirpated from the Long Island Sound and Central New England regions, only eight rivers in the U.S. still have suitable spawning habitat ( for native Atlantic salmon, and all flow into the Gulf of Maine. One of the eight is Cove Brook. The property itself, which is about 9.56 acres and includes a one-family residence (not part of the holding), is owned by Danielle M. and William F. Godley III, who reside there. Under a Conservation Easement since 2004 that was formerly held by the now defunct Cove Brook Watershed Council Inc., this valuable little property is now held by the LHT as of September 1, It has 841 feet of footage along Cove Brook, which forms the south property line. According to the Conservation Easement, no land development activity is permitted. No public access is allowed except that granted to visitors by the owner for low-impact recreation and/or nature observation. And vegetation management will be limited only for the following reasons: that which would be expressly approved by the Commissioner of the Maine Atlantic Salmon Commission to improve salmon habitat; to conduct maintenance of the foot path to Cove Brook; and/or to remove hazardous vegetation with the approval of the landowner. In addition to Cove Brook, the Conservation Easement includes the confluence of a tributary (Baker Brook) and a mixed hardwoodconiferous floodplain forest with a rich growth of ostrich fern and wetland grasses growing profusely below the canopy. Wildlife thrives, as evidenced by the beaver dam in Cove Brook, abundant deer sign, and the bird songs that filled the air on the day that the Board of Directors visited the property in July. Let s pause for a minute now and allow our imaginations to carry us back to those glory days of angling for the Penobscot River s most coveted fish, the Atlantic salmon. Think about that long ago tradition of vying to land that first salmon of the year, which came to be known as the Presidential Salmon. And consider, too, that according to the Penobscot River Restoration Trust, only 3% of the river s remaining viable spawning habitat for Atlantic salmon lies downstream of Veazie. We think about all that, and realizing that we are now playing a small role to help restore the population of this colorful and highly prized fish is quite special.
3 January 2012 LANDMARK HERITAGE TRUST NEWSLETTER page 3 of 6 NORTHERN POND NATURAL AREA by Rebecca Childs Last summer and early fall, members of the LHT and Monroe Conservation Commission made numerous improvements to the Northern Pond Natural Area. At the request of the Conservation Commission, the town of Monroe put in a parking area by the entrance on Dahlia Farm Rd. It had come to their attention that with increased use the winter parking along the edge of the road was becoming unsafe. We thank the town and Jim Tripp who did the work. New trail signs are up, giving hikers a better sense of direction. The signs, made by Allan Tubbs, were put in place by a joint group of LHT and Conservation Commission members. Also near the inner parking area, is a small kiosk with a trail map for those visitors that do not know the area. We thank Paul Jacobi for the kiosk. We like to see people using the trails, and to hear about their impressions of the Northern Pond Natural Area. In the future, we will be working on improving access to the Thurlow Brook Loop and making sure the trail is well marked and maintained. If there are people interested in helping please let us know by contacting Ann Fogg, Monroe Conservation Commission Chair, at

5 January 2012 LANDMARK HERITAGE TRUST NEWSLETTER page 5 of 6 T MORE ABOUT ATLANTIC SALMON he last time we checked the LHT s Mission Statement, fostering environmental awareness through education was a part of it. Therefore, as a service to our members and in honor of our newest holding in Winterport, we present the following educational excerpts from the Recovery Plan for the Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment of Atlantic Salmon (2005, National Marine Fisheries Service and Fish and Wildlife Service, 2005). Habitat Requirements and Limiting Factors: The Atlantic salmon is an anadromous fish, typically spending 2-3 years in freshwater, migrating to the ocean where it also spends 2-3 years, and returning to its natal river to spawn. Suitable spawning habitat consists of coarse substrate (gravel or rubble) in areas of moving water. Eggs incubate slowly due to cold winter water temperatures, hatch in March or April and become fry. Fry remain buried in the gravel for about six weeks. The fry emerge from the gravel about mid-may and start feeding on plankton and small invertebrates. Emergent fry quickly disperse from the redd, develop parr marks along their sides and enter the parr stage. Parr habitat (often called nursery habitat ) is typically riffle areas characterized by adequate cover (gravel and rubble up to 20 cm), moderate water depth (10-60 cm) and moderate to fast water flow (30-90 cm/sec). Salmon parr spend two to three years in the freshwater environment then undergo a physiological transformation called smoltification that prepares them for life in a marine habitat. Atlantic salmon leave Maine rivers in the spring and reach Newfoundland and Labrador by midsummer. They spend their first winter at sea in the area of the Labrador Sea south of Greenland. After the first winter at sea, a small percentage return to Maine while the majority spend a second year at sea, feeding off the southwest or (to a much lesser extent) southeast coast of Greenland. Some Maine salmon are also found in waters along the Labrador coast. After a second winter in the Labrador Sea, most Maine salmon return to rivers in Maine, with a small number returning the following year as three sea winter (3SW) fish. The habitat within the range of the DPS is generally characterized as being free-flowing, medium gradient, cool in-water temperature and suitable for spawning in gravel substrate areas. The watershed structure, available Atlantic salmon habitat, and abundance of Atlantic salmon stocks at various life stages are best known for the seven largest salmon rivers with remnant Atlantic salmon populations. There is less known about the habitat of smaller rivers within the historic range of the DPS, with the exception of Cove Brook.
